Guided oxygen levels during spine surgery to reduce post-operative lung collapse
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a specific level of extra oxygen during prone spine surgery can reduce lung collapse (atelectasis) after the operation. It uses a simple ultrasound to check the lungs, and aims to find a better way to manage oxygen during surgery for your safety and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 35.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I, II, or III).
- You do not have a recent or current lung infection, COPD, or other serious lung problems.
- You do not have severe heart failure, a very weak heart pump, or serious heart rhythm issues.
- Your oxygen level on room air is above 94% and you have no severe anemia.

This study tests whether periodic lung opening maneuvers during back surgery can reduce lung collapse and improve breathing mechanics. Doctors will use ultrasound to monitor your lungs.
This study compares two different levels of breathing support (called PEEP) during spine surgery while you lie on your stomach. The goal is to see which level keeps your lungs working better during the operation.
This study looks at how the position you are placed in during surgery affects your lungs afterward. Doctors will use a simple ultrasound to check for lung collapse (atelectasis) after your operation, to try to find better ways to prevent it.
This study compares two different oxygen levels used during lung surgery to see if one helps prevent the lung from partially collapsing afterward. It may help you recover better after your operation.
This study is testing whether adjusting the amount of oxygen given during and after surgery can help reduce lung complications in people having lung surgery with a special breathing tube. The goal is to find a safer oxygen level that might keep your lungs healthier.
This study tests whether using a lower oxygen level during lung surgery with one lung collapsed is safe when guided by a brain oxygen monitor. It may help reduce lung injury while keeping the brain healthy.
